Fritz is most well known for his memoirs covering his early years living at G. I. Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, <I>Le Prieure</I>, at Fontainebleau. Boyhood with Gurdjieff has become a standard text for followers of the <I>The Work</I> worldwide. Prior to writing these memoirs he published several novels both in the United States and in England which received a good deal of interest. Fritz took to heart the saying, "Write what you know," as his novels are largely autobiographical.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>I </B></FONT>became aware of Mr. Peters' writing in 1988, when I picked up a paperback copy of Finistère in the Gay Literature section of a local bookstore. It was the first <I>gay novel</I> that I had ever read and it is a story that, although was written in 1951 and has the requisite ending for the time, I still find one of the most wonderful books on my shelf today. Several years later, I began to track down Fritz's other writings and became intrigued by this mysterious man. My interest continued to grow as I began to do research on his life, coming up with only bits and pieces.</div> <bR> <div> <B>T</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >his web site is my attempt to put together what I have been able to gather about Fritz Peters along with a bibliography of the source material. I hope that others around the world will find it interesting and will share their thoughts, suggestions, or information with me. Thanks for visiting.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Eric L.
